View source for Happiness


The <b>happiness</b> stat, also interchangeably referred to as '''friendship''', metricizes a Pokémon's contentment and rapport with their trainer. It is quantified with a value between 0 and 255, and it is initialized at 70 when originatively obtained or traded for. 

For the most part, the happiness stat does not affect any combat stat´s of a Pokémon and is only needed as a requirement for certain Pokémon evolutions and moves used outside of battle. However, the power of the moves [[Return]] and [[Frustration]] is calculated based on the user's Happiness value.

==The use of Happiness==
===Pokémon evolutions===

Certain Pokémon will only evolve with the help of happiness, but a Pokémon evolution does not necessarily require the happiness stat as single condition to trigger the evolution. 
The Pokémon has to level up with a high amount of happiness (160) while meeting the other requirements in order to evolve.

==Visualizing Happiness==

There are two options to visualize a Pokémon´s happiness ingame. First option is to take a look at the happiness bar next to the Pokémon´s Health bar appearing on your Pokémon´s Info Card. A disadvantage of this method is that no number is shown up and you have to estimate the exact number. Second method is to use the [[In-Game_Commands|Ingame Command]] <i>/happy party-slot number</i> which will visualize the exact ammount of happiness into the chat.
